I see what you mean now Leo, Yeah brazing is stronger than just soldering, I have been using copper phosphor rods and Sil-flo rods with O/A torch and got good result if the copper is heavy gauge like around the same thickness as copper pipe, any thinner I'm not proficient enough to braze copper without burning some of it.
Have tried Silver solder (Very easy wire) and went smoothly with MAPP and O/A torch .
